Sorry, sir. >> It has some questions. I'm not really sure what happened or took place this morning and I don't know what information he was given, but he's claiming that he wasn't told anything. All right. All right, sir. Sir. Hey. So, I I talked to the deputies. Okay. So, this is this has been a process. They told me that they talked to you about this prior to it. So, you've been to court, right? >> I ain't been to court. I don't know what's going on. >> You've been to a hearing? >> No. >> Okay. Well, I know that's okay. I know that's not true.

If you dial 911, you're going to end up going to jail. >> For what? >> 911. >> We're right here and there's not an emergency. >> At first, the officers assumed the confusion was on their end. Taiwan simply didn't understand how the eviction process worked. So they gave him the benefit of the doubt and stayed patient. But what he did next made one thing very clear. He was not confused at all. He was a bully. Treating the eviction notice like a polite breeze he could easily ignore. >> Come on. Here. Will you just here? >> How about this? >> Exactly. >> You're being a little weird right now, man. >> I'm getting a racism, man. >> You said none of this bull, man. >> Me, man.

Come on, man. Let's go. >> You're going to just leave it open. >> Y'all watch my >> You're not watching. What the hell just happened? Why did he open his tailgate? >> This is probably exactly what happened when he was being served the eviction. He probably just got all pissed off, put on his headphones, and walked away. >> Sir, I'm the one that came out. I got it. I >> Eric, you're not You're not a part of this. Go over there. We'll talk to you. All right. >> Okay. Just wait over here. >> Come on. Can I please have it? Can you You can set it down. >> You just came up with >> Right.

You mean just please leave my court officer? >> Sir, you were evicted. I've been to your house this morning. The county the sheriff's office came out. They served the eviction. >> Which one? >> I I need you to I need you to focus for a minute, man. Listen. The eviction has already been served.

They told me to write a letter. >> To who? >> Explaining to who? >> To who? >> Why am I going? >> That's That's not a police report, though. You have to do it there at the clerk courts. You got to stop calling 911, man. >> I just lo >> because you told them that your house was robbed. Your house was not robbed right now. What you talking about? >> They're not robbing your house.

We've told you. >> You said we call 911. >> I watched you. >> You watched me call 911. >> Yes. >> Okay. Why would I call 911? >> Because you didn't like the answer we were giving you. >> Correct. And I really I went and found the answer I was looking for. >> No, you did not. >> That what was the answer? Whatever it was, you got based on a lie cuz you lied to him. You told him your house was being broken into. Your house is not >> my house right now. >> It's not. It's not, man. You got evicted.

For some reason, the officers chose to exercise remarkable patience, even though they were clearly running out of it. They suspected he might be mentally unstable and believed he was likely the only guardian his stepson had. But unaware of why they had held back from arresting him, Taiwan decided to make yet another reckless move. >> Hey, Tan, don't walk away. Don't walk away. Come here, man. Come here. >> No, we're going to have a conversation, man. Stop walking away from me. >> Stop walking away. >> Stop. >> Hey, I ain't Hey, come on, man.

But while he waited for the lease office to be contacted, he continued taking the statements of the witnesses. She she'd be better off coming down and taking out a home or what car out on her too, right? >> Yeah. They already told me. We we we discussed this yesterday.

Armed with that new piece of information, it was time to speak to the tenant again. >> Hey, boss. >> Listen, we're not doing this back and forth anymore. I'm writing this up, but you and all your stuff got to go. I just talked to the leasing the holder right now. He said, "If you're not on a lease, you're listening. You're not on a lease."

Did you see anybody pull out or anything like that? >> Okay. >> The officer continued documenting the names of everyone involved as part of standard investigation procedures. Suddenly, Antoine came up with a lame reason why he couldn't leave the apartment. But what he never saw coming was the officer's response. >> Thank you. >> So I can get my stuff. I don't want my stuff. I got to go get a >> What do you What do you need from me? >> I need to be able to get my stuff and get and get a demand that I go get my but now I got to get a U-Haul.

Sorry, I had to come back out here if you don't mind. >> Why did you leave in the first place?

Jeez, my >> Put your hands down. Oh yeah, lovely. >> On June the 30th, 2024, police officers with the Lacrosse Police Department were dispatched to a quiet residential neighborhood in Wisconsin after receiving a frantic 911 call from a woman reporting that her brother was having a mental breakdown and damaging property.

Can you shut that off so I can hear? >> I'm outside. >> I see you're outside. Were you yelling at her outside here? >> I'm screaming at God. You know that. >> Why are you screaming at God? >> In love. >> What's that? >> In love. >> You're in love? >> Yes. >> Okay, that's good. Um, unfortunately though, you can't be screaming outside if it's causing a disturbance. And And >> I didn't disturb anybody. >> Well, you disturbed her and that's that's why I'm here. She She called us. >> She didn't call you. >> She did? Yeah. >> Dispatch didn't call you. >> What? >> Dispatch from downtown did not call you. I don't know what you're talking about, Ed. >> Can I see the speaker? >> No, you can't. >> Oh, there's a real clean shot. >> Yep. >> That's a real >> Thank God. >> What's he going to do to you? >> He's not going to do anything to me. >> I don't know. >> So, I don't know why we keep coming back here, Ed. To have >> You come back for no reason. >> Chase me all over. You arrest me for no reason. >> I'm here because they're claiming you were being disorderly. >> Think they didn't sail me. Who let themselves out of there? I walked. They were right behind me. >> I don't know what you're talking about, Dad. >> Yeah. What about that room you built? >> I didn't build any rooms. >> You know, for real. >> Are you feeling okay today, Ed? >> Yes, sir. Hi. Sheriff, >> we were here yesterday because of you. >> You're not. You're lying. Wasn't >> you may have forgotten, but I was here yesterday. And >> remember you? >> Yep, I was here. >> So, we can't continue to keep coming back here because you're >> I don't know why you >> causing disturbances. >> I haven't said ever. I I wasn't here when you said anything, but they're claiming that you were out here yelling and screaming at people, >> right? I don't understand what you're trying to say. You hang out with them for a minute. I'm going to talk to him on the side. >> Since Edward was not making any sense, the officer decided to step inside the house and talk to the other tenants to figure out what had happened. It didn't surprise the officer when the tenants revealed that Edward had been causing so much trouble that they wanted him evicted. >> Uh, I'll work on getting them out of here. Okay. >> Thank you. So, Ed, um, according to everybody inside, you can't be here any longer. >> Yep. >> So, do you have you have a place to go? >> Yeah, sure do. I can't get there long. >> Okay. Well, we're going to be here until you're you're leaving cuz you can't be here anymore. So, go ahead and collect your things and you can start heading to wherever you're headed to. Still got your room of quality. Go ahead. Go ahead and collect your things, Ed. >> I'm getting them right now. I just want a scarf. >> What's up? >> Oh, yeah. Well, she just told me that she wants you to leave. She said, "Why don't you?" >> Well, my name's not Ed. She said, "I want Ed to leave." >> I don't think she said that. >> Do you have anything in the trailer there? >> We're not going to sit here while you smoke a cigar. You need to get up and collect your things and leave the property. >> Harass sexually harassing me. >> The alternative is going to be to go to jail for disorderly conduct. >> Back to jail for no charges. >> Oh, disorderly conduct is a possibility. >> I am not called you up. You know what I'm saying? Well, I was called here because you were yelling and screaming at your sister, creating a disturbance. That's why we were called here. And we're willing to let you leave if you have somewhere else to go without going to jail. But if you're refusing to leave, then you're going to go to jail. I'd rather not do that. So, that decision is yours. But I'd like you to make a smart decision and just get up, collect your things, and and go wherever you want to go. I think that sounds pretty reasonable. >> Unfortunately, you don't have a while. And I have one thing, but I got to figure out where I'm going to go. >> You said you had a place to go, right? >> I want you don't think about our tennis shoes and you think about where you're going to go. >> I'm trying, but you keep interrupting me. >> Well, you need to move your body. >> Why are you starting to get me? I've done something wrong. You arrested me last time for nothing. >> I didn't I've never arrested you for anything. We need you to leave while we're here. >> Why don't you pack while you think? Why don't you pack them up while you figure out where you're going to go? >> I got to think. You can't think and pack at the same time. >> I do one thing at a time. >> Well, yeah. We're not We're not going to play games with you. We need you to get up and move or you're going to come with us. >> What? >> Do not get aggressive with us. >> I ain't. I'm just staying ground by the house with my family. >> You're going to stay outside. >> I don't know where you're going to go. I'm going to ask my family. >> They don't want you inside. >> We should open the door. Ed, you're not going to go inside the house. >> You're not going to go inside the house. >> Oh [ __ ] >> You're going to get Stop. >> Stop. My >> Put your hands behind your back. >> Oh yeah. Lovely.

You're killing me. >> Put your hands behind your back. What could have ended with a simple warning if Edward had just listened to the officer and left the property quickly spiraled out of control and before long he had racked up several charges in the process. Let go. >> Why give me the RELAX in my eyes? Help me. Help me. >> Stand up. Yeah. You want to steal my face up there, baby? Get out of my pocket. Look at the probes. Let's walk over to the gray car there. Passenger side. Want your window down, Ed?

You in there? >> Right over here for you. You want me to kneel so you can take these off? >> No, you can have a seat. >> You sure you don't take these off? >> The the jail staff will come and take those off. >> In the end, he was taken to jail and charged with resisting arrest, disorderly conduct, and bagel jumping. In yet another case of evicted tenants trying to bully landlords and it backfiring. This woman claimed to have paid the landlord in cash after breaking in and making herself at home permanently in a home that was not hers. >> There is people in this house. >> Um >> I have no idea who they are. >> She made an agreement.

Um, >> I have no idea who they are. >> This is the neighbor. She lives over there. She said people's been going in and out. >> He's the one that called. >> This is the house. >> Yep.

So, I mean, they're not going to like >> put the hammer down on you just because >> you weren't you didn't do it what they asked right then and somebody, >> right? So, what do you do about all the damages they've done to both houses? >> We're scrapping these and selling them and fixing that one. What they stole out of that one? We're just out. >> While the homeowners were still counting their losses, the cops stopped in and shared with them a bit of hard-earned advice. >> That's a shame. >> Yeah, >> but I mean, I'm watching, cars, people going in and out the window. >> You guys able to >> Can I get somebody to buy? These people aren't real happy. They're calling us. >> I mean, we can do some extra patrol back here just to make sure. But, >> um, have you ever had to go through an eviction process before? >> Oh, yeah. >> Okay. >> Yeah. We just didn't know their names. They don't rent from us. >> So, generally, they'll give you the twoe one, which we can't enforce. It just kind of gives them a heads up that, you know, you're you're filing. Um, they can choose to leave within the two weeks and then it's fine. But then if they're still not gone after two weeks, the judge gives you a 30-day one. at at the end of 30 days is when it's enforceable by us. >> Okay. >> Okay. >> That's usually, you know, under threat of arrest at that point. >> Of the damages and everything, whether they could pay you or not, >> they got a stamp. >> No, but that's to prove that they destroyed your homes. >> Just across the porch, the tenants were speaking with another officer. They assumed it would come down to their word against the landlord. And if things were going to tilt in their favor, they knew they'd have to come with something fast. Well, nobody should make you do things you don't want to do. It's not a good person to be around. >> Have you filed for >> Have you uh thought about filing for a press order against him? >> Actually, >> we're getting ready to move.

Think it's like stolen stuff or Yeah. >> Okay. >> Okay. >> I appreciate it. >> I don't like it. >> No, I get it. While they were still talking, officers received a report that one of the tenants who had broken into the apartments had been found in the most unexpected of places. the closest intersection. He's running around. >> Get over here now. >> I got him. He's running. I want to get on ground. No. You're 10 kinds of stupid, aren't you? >> What are you running for? >> I seen you coming. >> So, you're doing something wrong. >> No. >> Huh? >> No. >> What are you running for? >> Come over here.

What about my stuff? >> It's going to go with you. >> Okay. >> After placing him at the back of the police cruiser, they went back to the house to give the tenants one last piece of advice. >> You guys have any questions for us? >> Yeah. They're going to file. They're going to file for an eviction. So, you guys need to start >> packing up and figuring things out. >> Out of here by then. >> Okay. >> Thank you.

I mean, we made this agreement and she didn't give us no leads or nothing like that. >> And her husband didn't know nothing about it. >> No. And she told me that everything was good with her husband, that she had talked to him and everything was fine. >> Well, then he comes pounding on the door and he's all hateful with me. >> You know, it's not my fault that she's a liar. They're the owners of the property. I mean, if they really wanted to push the issue, you guys don't have any paperwork or proof of payment as far as like how it looks to us is >> you guys are just >> broke into a house and now you're staying here and that's the first time they've checked in a while is how it appears. >> No. No. >> No, I wouldn't do that. >> Hell no. >> So, if you do go someplace else, I would start getting paperwork. >> Paperwork's your best friend. In the end, the male tenant was charged with obstruction of official duties. The next case takes us to Jacksonville, Florida, where a serial squatter, 22-year-old Jin Jane Jacobs, staged the takeover of a three-bedroom apartment that was listed for sale using a fake lease. >> So, we came over and these people moved in yesterday and she has a signed lease and paid $3,100 for first and last month rent and a pet deposit. >> All right. You're being you're being scammed for your home. >> So you have you you saw that this exact same thing had happened with her prior >> similar. Yes. >> Like how many years ago? Recent >> less than a year. And the young lady should go ahead and possibly move out. >> On March the 2nd, 2023, Florida officers received a call from a homeowner with some deeply unsettling news. She reported that a stranger, later identified as 22-year-old Jyn Jane Na Jacobs, had moved into her house and was already in the process of taking it over. At first, the call didn't raise many alarms. The officers were already familiar with Florida's growing squatter problem, so they assumed it would be a straightforward visit. Show up, set the record straight, and send the unauthorized occupant on their merry way. What they didn't realize was that they were about to come face to face with a self-styled queen of squatters. Someone who would test their patience and wits in ways that they would never see coming. >> My patty peoples. I own this house. It was for sale. We came over here to let a handyman in to do some work and he said, "Well, there's a dog and puppies on the front." >> So, we came over and these people moved in yesterday and she has a signed lease and paid $3,100 for first and last month rent and a pet deposit. >> So, >> So, you already talked to her. >> Yeah, she's very calm and very, very polite. >> Hey, how you doing, young lady? Good morning. >> Hi. >> What's going on? So, basically, um, I'm 22 years old and I just moved out of the Hover House, the homeless house. My mom, two years ago, I've been a hubbing house for a freaking year. I've been saving up money to get an apartment. This dude, Mr. Christopher Cross, that I've been contacting, which I'm going to give you all the information that I have. He brought me to this house on about February the 15th, and he showed me the house. He walked right in the house. He came here, he unlocked that front door, came right in the house, he showed me it, told me the house is for rent for $1,200. I mean, $1,400, excuse me. I think we need to talk about unfortunately for you the next steps because we we have an offer on the house. So, and according to my my dad is a um he sells houses. He works for one world realy and according to him I contacted him um about this. So, basic basically this is like that's a large amount of money that I'm going to have to get that $3,100 and he basically told me that I don't have to um I don't have to go. He basically told me that I don't have to go. He can he will go he will go through the court system to get me how I need to go. He told me I don't have to go. So it's really up to him on what he does about for y'all. My dad said I don't have to go handle from here because I paid my money to be here. So whatever the police says and that's where we'll go. But if I'm not getting my money back today, then I'm not leaving today. Unfortunately, cuz then I have no money, no place to stay. That's just not unfortunate for me. >> Let me ask you. So, you met this guy how many times? Twice. >> Three. >> Three times. >> Three times. >> What does he look like? >> Okay. So, he's a white dude. He's about a little bit taller than you. Maybe just a little bit taller than you. Bald guy. Grayish silverish goldish car if that makes sense. Like it was like all those colors in one. Like it was gray, gold, and silver all in one. Like that's the color it was giving me. >> And what was the breakdown of the payment again? So >> it was the rent was 1,400. Okay. >> The pet deposit was 500 and the security deposit was 1,200. And I thought it was 600, but that was nothing. It's 1,200. >> And you see that he sawed off the front door handle. >> Oh, yeah. And she said that that's not even the same door handle that >> must have sawed off the lock box and >> it's your Oh, that's your Okay. Look, >> hold on to this. I'm going to be I want to be straight forward and completely honest with you and frank. All right. You're being you're being scammed for your home. Um this is what I believe. now or not. >> She's part of it. >> So, play it smooth for now. I'mma explain everything to you. Okay. >> Let me see. This is I'm sorry. Um, so I believe that she's part of it, but I can't say for certain right now. I believe this is one of those circumstances where she may have created a lease and came to the house and did this because there's a similar circumstance that she's involved in where it's almost the exact same thing. >> Really? >> I believe that that's going to be the case. So I don't honestly right now she's not knowing that I'm going to play it a certain way. >> Yeah. Yeah. >> But I'm going to try to You got two options. Okay. She has to either leave and she or she has to be a victim. I'm going to do my best. It's coming in soft and then getting a little tough with it and to try to convince her that she's going to be investigating. >> That'll alleviate you a lot of it because if if and but if technically I can't prove it so she can still be a victim. Uh-huh. >> And it's technically would be a civil ordeal. So, you will still have to deal with the options are she leaves on her own, which I'm going to try to really convince to do. >> Yeah. >> Or you have to evict her. >> Got it. So, you have you you saw that this exact same thing that happened with her prior. >> They're similar. Yes. >> Like how many years ago? Recent? >> Less than a year. Okay. >> All right. So, I'm just going to chill out and let you do your thing. Yeah. Okay. All right. >> All right. And then I'll let you know. Hold on to that. That's your report number. This in incident is going to be documented. >> While the officers were still considering a softer approach, she decided to jump 10 steps ahead. A move that was proof that she was no amateur in the game. >> Um, >> and is there any way that I can like move forward with like like how would I go forward with like getting my money back, getting getting to this dude, getting my money? Like how would I move forward about all the >> I'm going to give you that information as well in a minute. Um so how did you come into contact with this person? >> Zillow. >> Zillow. >> Yes. >> Is that where it was listed? >> Yes. >> Is it still listed? >> No, it's not because when I went on there to show her because she said her house is for sale and I told it was for rent. I went down there to go show her cuz I've given all the information I given you. I've tried to give her too because like very unfortunate for the both of us. >> And um >> and how are you guys communicating? >> Through email. >> Okay. You got an email chain that I can see. >> You said a email >> like Yeah. Can I see the emails? >> Oh, chain. Okay. Yeah. I'll have to go on my computer to do that cuz that's this is my iCloud. It's on my Gmail. That's why I gave you my Gmail. >> Okay. >> And I can send you if you have an email, I can send you the chain, but I will have to go in my my house and get my computer back. >> Are you able to do that now? >> Yes, I can do that now, but I'm not sent to like I can do that now, but like this all like once I go back in and I come back out, that's going to be it because I have to be to work at 9. That's why I'm telling both of you guys. I have to leave to work at 9 and I can send you the information that you're asking for because I'm giving you all the information I have on my phone. Anything that's on my work, I mean on my computer, I can send it to you on an email, but standing here until now it's not going to work because I'm getting frustrated because it's been almost 2 hours. So, if you have an email that I can drop down, I understand that you want to just do air drop. So, if you have an email that I can just send to your coworker or anything else the case may be, I can send that to you because emails was ranging between the 15th and the 28th and I can send that to you. But it's going to be 9:00 and I need to get to work. Um, >> okay. Well, this is the first time I heard about you having be to work 9:00. So, I understand. >> I not I I haven't said it because she knows. >> Hold on. Hold on. >> I'm just getting frustrated because I'm I'm getting You're also not allow You're also not allowing me to speak. I've been respectful. >> I've been respectful to you, too. >> But you're not allowing me to speak. >> Okay. So, >> so what I'm what I'm about to say is this is the first time hearing about you having to be at work at 9:00. Even though you stated it to her, I didn't hear that because I'm not her. >> Okay. I've been in my car for your badge number. It's right there on the form. So, let me let me also let you let me >> contacted my uncle. >> Let me also let you know this. Okay. >> So, that's fine. I understand your your concern. Um, you're going to be investigated for fraud. Okay. >> That's perfectly fine. I think my daddy told me that if there if there is probable cause, you're going to be arrested. Okay. So, one of your options, one the big option that I think you should take, I think you and the young lady should go ahead and possibly move out because if not, then we're going to come back and we're going to take you guys to jail. >> Okay. So, according to you, >> if we have probable cause, take you to jail. >> Okay. If you have problem calls, that's fine. And um that's fine. I'm not even going to say nothing else to you because I know how this works. My uncle is also a police. So, I'm not going to say nothing else to you. I'm going to allow you to do what you do. Um I'm going to send you the information that I have. Well, I've given you the information, right? All his information. >> I I I don't have it. I didn't receive your contact information. What is your name? >> Janette. >> Cuz you didn't receive my contact information. You mean like the >> your Yeah. >> The number that you just sent me, right? I mean, the number that I just gave you, right? >> Yeah. >> Oh, yeah. I haven't I haven't text back to that yet. >> Um Okay. Anything else you need to tell me because I will be >> Yeah. And make sure you vacate the premises um as soon as you can. >> Okay. Okay. So, um y'all can come back later. Y'all can go ahead and How about y'all How about you can actually call people here and y'all can y'all How How long is it going to take to investigate? >> As long as it needs to take. >> Okay. Because now it's going to get a little further because you're saying you're trying to arrest me for fraud when I know it's not fraud and I have money that's been giving. So now it's going to go a little further. >> I said you' be investigated for fraud. You no you what you said was I need to vacate the premises because if I don't leave I'm going to be record I mean for fraud basically all because I told you that I had to be to work and I got a little upset because that's not why that is >> that is that is that wasn't the what's that wasn't how it was going >> I'm not going to debate you can go ahead and get ready for work >> you can come back later you can come back later matter of fact I will call other people here as well whoever this is going um I have your number um >> for all any other information I will contact you and Yeah. Um, if you have an email, I can send you any >> just call general information. Phone number, ask for officer Smith. My badge number is right there where it says officer number. >> Mhm. Okay. >> All right. >> So, what's the next step then? >> Basically, it's Well, I'm going to let him tell you >> Oh, no. I'm not going to vacate. I'm going to let him investigate and do what he does. And once you find out I'm not fraud, then you can take the next steps because I can't believe that you just literally sat there and said >> I said you're going to be investigated for it. what he's saying is I believe he got frustrated because he wanted me to send an email for the change of the uh conversation between me and the douche and um >> at this moment the officers had come to realize that Janette was one tough cookie. She wasn't just trying to scam the homeowner out of her house. Now she was angling to collect a refund for money that she had never been paid in the first place. >> So you see how that went? Are you understanding what's what's happening? What's going on? Yeah. So soon as you started pushing, she got a little agitated. >> Not even that. Once I started asking for further documentation >> to vet what she's saying, >> that's when she got defensive. >> Yeah. >> And she wasn't willing to give that up because, you know, she has somewhere she has to be. >> But I told her, as you heard, she's going to be investigated for fraud. >> Um, and that's what's going to happen. I'm giving her the option to leave. She may get spooked and leave. I just recommend that you come by maybe every other day, every day. I check your property. this is your property. You got right to be I said I just recommend you ride by. Um this may spook her. A lot of people sometimes when they feel that they're getting >> they're getting close to getting caught, they like to put up a big fence and put up a big barrier of defense to say no no no. This may very well be that because there's been a lot of circumstances where I've dealt with people to where they said, "Oh, no, no, no. I ain't worried. I ain't worried about it." And then when you come back out, they're gone because they're afraid. >> That's like deface the house and take all my appliances and everything. >> And if if she does do that, she's one of the last documented people that's being in the household. Uh-huh. >> But the only thing is with anything else, you have to be able to prove >> that that's what's going on. Okay. >> Yeah. >> So, we got to kind of go through. >> Do I have any right to go in the house now to look at the state of it? >> No. Technically, no. >> Because technically she she technically still could be a true victim. Technically, she does have an expectation of privacy because technically she is renting the house. >> Understand. >> The eviction process takes 30 days after the person's been served >> after they after they've been served. >> God damn it. Even if even in this situation, it's 30 days >> because technically she could be telling >> you have an offer on a house. >> Yeah. >> Oh my goodness gracious. >> I'm sorry. It does happen though. >> Yeah. That's what I'm hearing. >> Get this done as soon as you can. Talk with one of your business lawyers today. Um tell them what's going on. You already got it documented with the police. So you've cross they going to say call the police. You've already did all that. Um look into the eviction process for our two county courts and it's going to tell you everything. Google It's going to tell you everything you need, >> what you need, cuz you it's going to say like person's name, all that stuff. It's all going to be documented in the report. >> Okay. All right. >> All right. >> Bye. >> Good luck to you. >> Um, so basically, so these are the numbers I need because I really don't appreciate how your attitudes change. So, I'm just going to come. Me being a niece of a police, I don't know if you know my uncle name, but his name is Austin Smith. That's my uncle. Um, you probably don't know, but I just don't like the fact that I I've given you all the information I've given you. I just told you I came out of homeless shelter. a person that comes out of homeless shelter that has a three-year-old son. This is very frustrating to them. This is very frustrating and very mindful to them. I have a car in the back that has to get told here because it does not work. So, that's very frustrating for to hear those words even come out your mouth because I just gave you all the information I could. And the only reason why I can't give you the last piece of information is because like I said, I have to go get off my computer. If you want to stay here for the next couple minutes for me to get it, I can do that. But I've been saying for the last couple minutes and she knows that I've been telling her I have to get the word. Even when you came back and you said something about information, I said, "I hope it be pro a speedy process because I have to get to work." When she left and came back, I told her, she even asked me, she said, "Okay, well, will you be at work when I come back?" I said, "No, I don't have to be at work at 9:00." So, excuse me for thinking that you heard that I had to be to work. But this this this is frustrating. This is very frustrating. I don't I don't even do all that them emotional. It's frustrating. This is $3,100 plus more that I came out of pocket that I cannot get back. And basically y'all telling me that I have to move or I cannot get my money back. Then you're telling me that basically I'm a you not telling me that I'm a fraud, but then again you you've been nice as to me until I couldn't do that. Then you begin to call me a fraud and have an attitude. My mother just pass. I don't have nobody to help me. And my dad damn he being in the picture when he wants to do all that do is spit out money. He's not here for me. So this frustrating >> and for me to come tell black police >> and for him basically try to not even try to do anything because you were nice as didn't do anything wrong until I told you I couldn't get those emails and I can get them for you. I just couldn't get them right now. >> Like I said, you you you do what you have to do because that will help me too get my money back. But all of that, oh, she's a fraud, she's a fraud. I don't take that lightly because my daddy will get me a lawyer and I will press I will press charges and I will do what I need to do. She'll tell you how she bone rushing here. This is my property. She shouldn't be bone rushing the in here. But I didn't make it that make it that deep. You're bone rushing in here. Well, who the is in here while my child is in there? But I didn't make it a deal because at the end of the day, just like it's unfortunate for me, it's unfortunate her because she possibly have to come out money that she probably doesn't even have. >> At that point, all the officers could see was just how desperately she was trying to prove her innocence. A classic move when someone realizes that they've been caught. But what she never saw coming was the officer's response. >> So, it's a way of both things. But I just don't appreciate how you were so nice and so gentle until I told you I couldn't get that last piece of information, which I can't. I just couldn't get it right at the moment. And I have my job calling me because I signed up for overtime that I totally forgot about. And that's why I was so extreme about it because I signed up for overtime at 8:30. It's 8:55. So, they were calling me. That's why I kept running in and out the house. morning out the house so that I could talk to them without being in y'all face having to talk to you that other >> but I felt like I shouldn't even have to explain none of that because I just wanted to apologize for even snapping on you that's number one number two letting you know that I I didn't appreciate that because like I said whether you feel like your tone changed or not your tone changed your tone changed and your demeanor changed >> and I didn't I didn't appreciate that at all but that's what I wanted to let you know >> thank you good luck to you have a good day >> she eventually vacated the house after for a six-month battle, but not before selling all brand new appliances, damaging the wall, and causing $40,000 in damages. In the end, she was arrested for fraud, criminal mischief, and trespassing. Unlike other evicted tenants who resorted to non-violent intimidation, this woman crossed a far more dangerous line, pointing a firearm at her landlord after being evicted. >> Let me see YOUR HANDS. LET ME SEE YOUR HANDS. GET ON THE GROUND NOW. >> GET ON THE GROUND. >> GET ON THE GROUND NOW. HANDUR. >> Why are you trying to kill her? >> On February the 7th, 2024, police officers with the Ottawa Police Department were dispatched to a residential neighborhood in Illinois after receiving a frantic 911 call from a woman claiming that a gun had been pointed at her face. Upon arrival, the officers found the individuals involved in the confrontation standing at the entrance of the premises. >> I see him right there.

Did you come out from the apartment? >> Yeah, I came out from the apartment. I was in the back. >> She should never be on the ground. >> Okay, we're going to figure everything out. >> Recognizing the gravity of the situation, the officers were on high alert, fully aware that someone had just pointed a weapon at another person. They couldn't afford to take any chances. >> Bro, HE GOT THIS ON MY 14Y OLD I'm sorry. What? I was in the back. >> Okay. >> Who has the gun? >> SHE HAD IT.
